Benzo Detox

Benzo Detox At The Florida House Experience

Benzos, such as Xanax and Klonopin, are drugs used to treat anxiety. These drugs are easy to become dependent on and are very hard to stop using. Many people are under the false impression that these drugs may be safer to take or easier to detox from because they are medically prescribed, but this is not true. Benzos have very strong detox symptoms and withdrawal can be life-threatening if not rendered in a medically supervised environment.

When taken regularly, for a long period of time, or more than prescribed, an individual’s body becomes extremely dependent upon benzos. At The Florida House Experience, we know this means that extra precautions need to be taken during the detox process to ensure safety and comfort.

Common symptoms of benzo withdrawal include:

Irritability and anger

Anxiety

Problems concentrating

Poor memory

Body aches and restless legs

Insomnia

Seizures

Burning sensations in the brain

Muscle twitches

The most serious form of benzo withdrawal is Delirium Tremens. Widely referred to in the medical world as DTs, Delirium Tremens causes an individual’s Central Nervous System to experience severe symptoms of withdrawal. DT’s may cause an individual to experience symptoms such as seizures, hallucinations, uncontrollable shaking, and death if left untreated. This is considered to be a medical emergency and requires immediate care.

The Importance of Medically Managed Benzo Detox

Individuals enduring Benzo withdrawal experience intense and overwhelming. For this reason, it is necessary for people to withdraw from benzos in a medically supervised environment. At The Florida House, we make sure to thoroughly assess every patient’s risk factors during detox and treat them accordingly so that medical emergencies can be prevented. Therapists and doctors are staffed around the clock in order to assist with patient needs and to offer support and encouragement.

During a medically managed detox, you can expect to go through an extensive physical and psychological evaluation to determine a baseline for your treatment. You will be prescribed medication as necessary to help with the symptoms of detox and to prevent medical complications. If you are diagnosed with any underlying medical conditions or mood disorders, those will be treated as well, with a separate course of medication.
